|Dm7 - G9 - Dm7 - G9| - |Dm7 - G9 - Dm7 - Dm7| 
|Dm7 - G9 - Dm7 - G9| - |Dm7 - G9 - Dm7 - Dm7| 
			
Dm7    G9    Dm7               G9 
Depot, depot - What am I doing here? 
Dm7    G9    Dm7               G9 
Depot, depot - What am I doing here? 
        Dm7             G9 
I ain't coming, I ain't going 
      Dm7       G9 
My confusion is showing 
Dm7               G9                      Dm7       G9 
  And outside the midnight wind is blowing Sixth Avenue 
          E7           A7 
I'm gonna paint myself blue 
       Dm7    G9 
At the depot 
			
I watch the taxis pull up and idle 
I can't claim title to a single memory 
You offered me a key 
Cause opportunity don't knock 
Has no tongue as you cannot talk 
You're gonna shuffle when you walk 
At the depot 
			
This peeping Tom needs a peephole 
And an up-tempo song 
To move me along 
When I find this depot, baby 
I'm on a roll just like a pool ball, baby 
I'm gonna be there at the roll call maybe 
At the depot 
			
Outside the midnight wind is blowing Sixth Avenue 
Ah, tell me what a poor boy to do 
At the depot 
			
I'm on a roll just like a pool ball, baby 
I'm gonna be there at the roll call maybe 
At the depot - Depot 

Lyrics

Depot, depot, what am I doing here?
Depot, depot, what am I doing here?
I ain't coming, I ain't going
My confusion is showing
Outside the midnight wind is blowing Sixth Avenue
I'm gonna paint myself blue
At the depot

I watch the taxis pull up and idle
I can't claim title to a single memory
He offered me a key
'Cause opportunity don't knock
He has no tongue and she cannot talk
You're gonna shuffle when you walk
At the depot

This peeping-Tom needs a peephole
And an uptempo song
To move me along
When I find this depot baby
I'm on a roll just like a pool ball baby
I'm gonna be there at the roll call maybe
At the depot

Outside the midnight wind is blowing Sixth Avenue
Oh, tell me what a poor boy to do
At the depot
I'm on a roll just like a pool ball baby
I'm gonna be there at the roll call maybe
At the depot
The depot
